One-person 401(k)

Question
If you work alone, with no employees, can you have a 401(k) plan? 
Answer
Yes. Even if you are self-employed, this type of plan may enable you to maximize contributions because you can make both employee salary reduction contributions (elective deferrals) and employer contributions.

Be sure to consult with your financial and tax advisor.
